The process of pregnancy is not easy, and women's bodies will bear a great burden. There are many uncomfortable symptoms, such as constipation, which is quite common. This can make women feel irritable, their skin color will not be as good, and if the toxins in the body are not excreted in time, their health will also be affected. So, is constipation considered once every two to three days during pregnancy?
Once every two to three days during pregnancy is not considered constipation. As long as defecation is not very difficult and the stool is not dry or hard, it does not belong to constipation. The probability of constipation during pregnancy is still very high, because many women rest at home and their physical activity is greatly reduced. In addition, their diet is too refined and their gastrointestinal motility is not sufficient, which can easily lead to constipation symptoms and make the body very uncomfortable.
If constipation occurs during pregnancy, the interval between bowel movements is relatively long, possibly 4-6 days before defecation, and the stool is dry, hard, and painful. If the situation is severe, the skin in the anal area will be scraped, causing bleeding during defecation. To prevent constipation, women should replenish water in a timely manner and drink it in large sips. Swallowing should be done quickly, but not too much, as it can moisten the stool and effectively relieve constipation.
Women should also develop the habit of regular bowel movements. They can go to the bathroom after waking up in the morning or after breakfast. When they feel the urge to defecate, they should not force themselves to do so, but rather expel it in a timely manner.
